Abstract
The process for freezing cell suspensions by locating the suspension in a freezing chamber and simultaneously monitoring the temperature of the suspended cells and of the chamber. The cooling of the chamber is regulated at predetermined rates in response to given temperature levels of the sample. The cooling chamber includes a fan, a heater, and a source of refrigerant. The process includes the steps of selectively decreasing and increasing the temperature of the freezing chamber responsive to predetermined temperature points on the freezing curve of the cell sample.
